Danjufo Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Looking at getting my first trials specific geometry frame. Seen a bike for sale with a magnesium frame and was wondering what experience people have with these frames. On assumption it's lighter but possibly weaker? My concern is i have the basics of trials but i am still learning so i guess im more likely to knock my frame and dont want to panic about denting it all the time. Are my concerns validated? or are they stronger than im giving them credit?Also do people think a lighter bike would be more helpful to learn on?Thanks in advance for any advice.

Skoze Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 DOB = dent or bend.Really light frames, but they're cheap and pretty poorly made, almost everyone i know that's got one that's been ridden has cracked or snapped at some point.

trials_pimp Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 If your learning then go for something cheaper and stronger.Theres no point buying a super expencive frame if your going to keep falling off while you learn.Also while learning things like gaps and rails you will damage your frame.Get something stonger and cheaper. There are plenty of frames out there that are well priced and great for riding on.I would recamend you look at Phase bikes for learning on. You can pick a whole bike up from £300 and they ride very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
